A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

We did 230 km today, from Addis to Hosanna, it took almost two hours to get out of this huge city. We said goodbye to Daniel and welcomed Nataniel (Nati), he will be our new guide tillNairobi(Kenya). We drove through tree different states today, each with there special characteristics, the decorated houses we did not seen before. Late in the afternoon we reach our destination, the hotel is next to a bus station; from our balcony we have a good view on the chaos.
